1. System Definitions.
System numbers are based on the Air Transport Association (ATA) Specification
Number 100 and items are numbered sequentially.
a. "Item" (Column 1) means the equipment, system, component, or function listed in the
"Item" column.
b. "Number Installed" (Column 2) is the number (quantity) of items normally installed in
the aircraft. This number represents the aircraft configuration considered in developing
this MMEL. Should the number be a variable (e.g., passenger cabin items) a number is
not required.
c. "Number Required for Dispatch" (Column 3) is the minimum number (quantity) of
items required for operation provided the conditions specified in Column 4 are met.
NOTE: Where the MMEL shows a variable number required for dispatch, the MEL must
reflect the actual number required for dispatch or an alternate means of configuration
control approved by the Administrator.
d. "Remarks or Exceptions" (Column 4) in this column includes a statement either
prohibiting or permitting operation with a specific number of items inoperative, provisos
(conditions and limitations) for such operation, and appropriate notes.
e. A vertical bar (change bar) in the margin indicates a change, addition or deletion in
the adjacent text for the current revision of that page only. The change bar is dropped at
the next revision of that page.
2. "Airplane/Rotorcraft Flight Manual" (AFM/RFM) is the document required for type
certification and approved by the responsible FAA Aircraft Certification Office. The FAA
approved AFM/RFM for the specific aircraft is listed on the applicable Type Certificate
Data Sheet.
3. "As required by FAR" means that the listed item is subject to certain provisions
(restrictive or permissive) expressed in the Federal Aviation Regulations operating rules.
The number of items required by the FAR must be operative. When the listed item is not
required by FAR it may be inoperative for time specified by repair category.
4. Each inoperative item must be placarded to inform and remind the crewmembers and
maintenance personnel of the equipment condition.
NOTE: To the extent practical, placards should be located adjacent to the control or
indicator for the item affected; however, unless otherwise specified, placard wording and
location will be determined by the operator.
PAGE NO.
X
5. "-" symbol in Column 2 and/or Column 3 indicates a variable number (quantity) of the
item installed.
6. "Deleted" in the remarks column after a sequence item indicates that the item was
previously listed but is now required to be operative if installed in the aircraft.
7. ER refers to extended range operations of a two-engine airplane (ETOPS) which
has a type design approval for ER operations (ETOPS) and complies with the provisions
of Advisory Circular 120-42A.
8. "Federal Aviation Regulations" (FAR) means the applicable portions of the Federal
Aviation Act and Federal Aviation Regulations.
9. "Flight Day" means a 24 hour period (from midnight to midnight) either Universal
Coordinated Time (UCT) or local time, as established by the operator, during which at
least one flight is initiated for the affected aircraft.
10. "Icing Conditions" means an atmospheric environment that may cause ice to form
on the aircraft or in the engine(s).
11. Alphabetical symbol in Column 4 indicates a proviso (condition or limitation) that
must be complied with for operation with the listed item inoperative.
12. Inoperative means a system and/or component malfunction to the extent that it
does not accomplish its intended purpose and/or is not consistently functioning normally
within its approved operating limit(s) or tolerance(s).
13. Notes:" in Column 4 provides additional information for crewmember or
maintenance consideration. Notes are used to identify applicable material which is
intended to assist with compliance, but do not relieve the operator of the responsibility
for compliance with all applicable requirements. Notes are not a part of the provisos.
14. Inoperative components of an inoperative system: Inoperative items which are
components of a system which is inoperative are usually considered components
directly associated with and having no other function than to support that system.
(Warning/caution systems associated with the inoperative system must be operative
unless relief is specifically authorized per the MMEL).
PAGE NO.
XI
15. "(M)" symbol indicates a requirement for a specific maintenance procedure which
must be accomplished prior to operation with the listed item inoperative. Normally these
procedures are accomplished by maintenance personnel; however, other personnel may
be qualified and authorized to perform certain functions. Procedures requiring
specialized knowledge or skill, or requiring the use of tools or test equipment should be
accomplished by maintenance personnel. The satisfactory accomplishment of all
maintenance procedures, regardless of who performs them, is the responsibility of the
operator. Appropriate procedures are required to be published as part of the operator's
manual or MEL.
16. "(O)" symbol indicates a requirement for a specific operations procedure which must
be accomplished in planning for and/or operating with the listed item inoperative.
Normally these procedures are accomplished by the flight crew; however, other
personnel may be qualified and authorized to perform certain functions. The satisfactory
accomplishment of all procedures, regardless of who performs them, is the responsibility
of the operator. Appropriate procedures are required to be published as a part of the
operator's manual or MEL.
NOTE: The (M) and (O) symbols are required in the operator's MEL unless otherwise
authorized by the Administrator.
17. "Deactivated" and "Secured" means that the specified component must be put into
an acceptable condition for safe flight. An acceptable method of securing or deactivating
will be established by the operator.
18. "Visual Flight Rules" (VFR) is as defined in FAR Part 91. This precludes a pilot from
filing an Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) flight plan.
19. "Visual Meteorological Conditions" (VMC) means the atmospheric environment is
such that would allow a flight to proceed under the visual flight rules applicable to the
flight. This does not preclude operating under Instrument Flight Rules.
20. "Visible Moisture" means an atmospheric environment containing water in any form
that can be seen in natural or artificial light; for example, clouds, fog, rain, sleet, hail, or
snow.
21. "Passenger Convenience Items" means those items related to passenger
convenience, comfort or entertainment such as, but not limited to, galley equipment,
movie equipment, ash trays, stereo equipment, overhead reading lamps, etc.
PAGE NO.

22. Repair Intervals: All users of an MEL approved under FAR 121, 125, 129 and 135
must effect repairs of inoperative systems or components, deferred in accordance with
the MEL, at or prior to the repair times established by the following letter designators:
Category A. Items in this category shall be repaired within the time interval specified in
the remarks column of the operator's approved MEL.
Category B. Items in this category shall be repaired within three (3) consecutive
calendar days (72 hours), excluding the day the malfunction was recorded in the aircraft
maintenance record/logbook. For example, if it were recorded at 10 a.m. on January
26th, the three day interval would begin at midnight the 26th and end at midnight the
29th.
Category C. Items in this category shall be repaired within ten (10) consecutive calendar
days (240 hours), excluding the day the malfunction was recorded in the aircraft
maintenance record/logbook. For example, if it were recorded at 10 a.m. on January
26th, the 10 day interval would begin at midnight the 26th and end at midnight February
5th.
Category D. Items in this category shall be repaired within one hundred and twenty
(120) consecutive calendar days (2880 hours), excluding the day the malfunction was
recorded in the aircraft maintenance log and/or record.
The letter designators are inserted adjacent to Column 2.
23. Electronic Fault Alerting System - General
New generation aircraft display system fault indications to the flight crew by use of
computerized display systems. Each aircraft manufacturer has incorporated individual
design philosophies in determining the data that would be represented. The following
are customized definitions (specific to each manufacturer) to help determine the level of
messages affecting the aircraft's dispatch status .When preparing the MEL document,
operators are to select the proper Definition No. 23 for their aircraft, if appropriate
NO CUSTOMIZED DEFINITIONS OF FAULT ALERTING ARE APPLICABLE TO THE
BAE-125-1000 AIRCRAFT.
PAGE NO.
XIII
24. "Administrative control item" means an item listed by the operator in the MEL for
tracking and informational purposes. It may be added to an operator's MEL by approval
of the Principal Operations Inspector provided no relief is granted, or provided conditions
and limitations are contained in an approved document (i.e. Structural Repair Manual,
airworthiness directive, etc.). If relief other than that granted by an approved document
is sought for an administrative control item, a request must be submitted to the
Administrator. If the request results in review and approval by the FOEB, the item
becomes an MMEL item rather than an administrative control item.
25. "***" symbol in Column 1 indicates an item which is not required by regulation but
which may have been installed on some models of aircraft covered by this MMEL. This
item may be included on the operator's MEL after the approving office has determined
that the item has been installed on one or more of the operator's aircraft. The symbol,
however, shall not be carried forward into the operator's MEL. It should be noted that
neither this policy nor the use of this symbol provide authority to install or remove an
item from an aircraft.
26. "Excess Items" means those items that have been installed that are redundant to
the requirements of the FARs.
27. "Day of Discovery" is the calendar day an equipment/instrument malfunction was
recorded in the aircraft maintenance log and or record. This day is excluded from the
calendar days or flight days specified in the MMEL for the repair of an inoperative item of
equipment. This provision is applicable to all MMEL items, i.e., categories "A, B, C, and
D."
28. Considered Inoperative, as used in the provisos means that item must be treated
for dispatch, taxi and flight purposes at though it were inoperative. The item shall not be
used or operated until the original deferred item is repaired. Additional actions include
documenting the item on the dispatch release (if applicable), placarding, and complying
with all remarks, exceptions, and related MMEL provisions, including and (M) and (O)
procedures and observing the repair category.
29. Is not used in the provisos, remarks or exceptions for an MMEL item may specify
that another item relieved in the MMEL is not used. In such cases, crewmembers
should not activate, actuate, or otherwise utilize that component or system under normal
operations. It is not necessary for the operators to accomplish the (M) procedures
associated with the item. However, operational requirements must be complied with,
and an additional placard must be affixed, to the extent practical, adjacent to the control
or indicator for the item that is not used to inform crewmembers that a component or
system is not to be used under normal operations.
PAGE NO.
XIV
30. Nonessential equipment and furnishings (NEF) are those items installed on the
aircraft as part of the original certification, supplemental type certificate, or engineering
order that have no effect on the safe operation of flight and would not be required by the
applicable certification rules or operational rules. They are those items that if
inoperative, damaged or missing have no effect on the aircrafts ability to be operated
safely under all operational conditions. These nonessential items may be installed in
areas including, but not limited to, the passenger compartment, flight deck area, service
areas, cargo areas, crew rest areas, lavatories, and galley areas. NEF items are not
items already identified in the MEL or CDL of the applicable aircraft. They do not include
items that are functionally required to meet the certification rule or for compliance with
any operational rule. Operators NEF process shall not provide for deferral of items
within serviceable limits identified in the manufactures maintenance manual or
operators approved maintenance program such as wear limits, fuel/hydraulic leak rates,
oil consumption, etc. Cosmetic items that are fully serviceable but worn or soiled may
be deferred under an operators NEF process.
PAGE NO.

The following is applicable for authorized certificate holders operating under Federal
Aviation Regulations (FAR) Parts 121, 125, 129, & 135: The FAR require that all
equipment installed on an aircraft in compliance with the Airworthiness Standards and
the Operating Rules must be operative. However, the Rules also permit the publication
of a Minimum Equipment List (MEL) where compliance with certain equipment
requirements is not necessary in the interests of safety under all operating conditions.
Experience has shown that with the various levels of redundancy designed into aircraft,
operation of every system or installed component may not be necessary when the
remaining operative equipment can provide an acceptable level of safety. A Master
Minimum Equipment List (MMEL) is developed by the FAA, with participation by the
aviation industry, to improve aircraft utilization and thereby provide more convenient and
economic air transportation for the public. The FAA approved MMEL includes those
items of equipment related to airworthiness and operating regulations and other items of
equipment which the Administrator finds may be inoperative and yet maintain an
acceptable level of safety by appropriate conditions and limitations; it does not contain
obviously required items such as wings, flaps, and rudders. The MMEL is the basis for
development of individual operator MELs which take into consideration the operator's
particular aircraft equipment configuration and operational conditions. Operator MELs,
for administrative control, may include items not contained in the MMEL; however, relief
for administrative control items must be approved by the Administrator. An operator's
MEL may differ in format from the MMEL, but cannot be less restrictive than the MMEL.
The individual operator's MEL, when approved and authorized, permits operation of the
aircraft with inoperative equipment.
Equipment not required by the operation being conducted and equipment in excess of
FAR requirements are included in the MEL with appropriate conditions and limitations.
The MEL must not deviate from the Aircraft Flight Manual Limitations, Emergency
Procedures or with Airworthiness Directives. It is important to remember that all
equipment related to the airworthiness and the operating regulations of the aircraft not
listed on the MMEL must be operative.
Suitable conditions and limitations in the form of placards, maintenance procedures,
crew operating procedures and other restrictions as necessary are specified in the MEL
to ensure that an acceptable level of safety is maintained.
The MEL is intended to permit operation with inoperative items of equipment for a period
of time until repairs can be accomplished. It is important that repairs be accomplished at
the earliest opportunity. In order to maintain an acceptable level of safety and reliability
the MMEL establishes limitations on the duration of and conditions for operation with
inoperative equipment.
PAGE NO.
XVI
The MEL provides for release of the aircraft for flight with inoperative equipment. When
an item of equipment is discovered to be inoperative, it is reported by making an entry in
the Aircraft Maintenance Record/Logbook as prescribed by FAR. The item is then either
repaired or may be deferred per the MEL or other approved means acceptable to the
Administrator prior to further operation. MEL conditions and limitations, do not relieve
the operator from determining that the aircraft is in condition for safe operation with items
of equipment inoperative.
When these requirements are met, an Airworthiness Release, Aircraft Maintenance
Record/Logbook entry, or other approved documentation is issued as prescribed by
FAR. Such documentation is required prior to operation with any item of equipment
inoperative.
Operators are responsible for exercising the necessary operational control to ensure that
an acceptable level of safety is maintained. When operating with multiple inoperative
items, the interrelationships between those items and the effect on aircraft operation and
crew workload will be considered.
Operators are to establish a controlled and sound repair program including the parts,
personnel, facilities, procedures, and schedules to ensure timely repair.
WHEN USING THE MEL, COMPLIANCE WITH THE STATED INTENT OF THE
PREAMBLE, DEFINITIONS, AND THE CONDITIONS AND LIMITATIONS SPECIFIED
IN THE MEL IS REQUIRED.
PAGE NO.
XVII
The FOEB has identified a need for certain procedures to provide an adequate level of
safety while providing relief for some items. These procedures must be established by
the operator and may be based on the aircraft manufacturers recommended
procedures, Supplemental Type Certificate modifiers recommended procedures, or
equivalent operator procedures. When recommended procedures are published the
operator should comply with these procedures. If recommended procedures are not
published, the following guidelines delineate the aspects to be considered by the
operator in the development of required procedures.
All Guidelines for (O) & (M) Procedures should be based on the Dispatch
Deviation Guide, Manual Reference DDG125-1000, published Raytheon
Aircraft Company and/or Maintenance and Operational Procedures for the
Minimum Equipment List Hawker / 125 Series 1000 (P/N MOPSMEL345022xx
as amended) published by Hawker Beechcraft Corporation.
